Happy Holidays, Everyone!

I’ve recently found Mark Waid’s blog. Prior to May 2009, he wrote a great deal of scripting and story creation advice for monthly comic books. Even if you don’t write monthly comic books, his tips and tricks are applicable to any type of writing.

Also, I highly recommend the 15 Minutes With Waid segments – you can listen to it through the blog or on podcast – and the Great Moments in Comics are hilarious (I especially liked this one).

Tune in this Sunday (27th) for the story structure breakdown of Art Spiegelman’s Maus!

What would you do if your brother lost his mind… literally? Will Doom find Danger's runaway brain before the test at school, or will he have a brainless brother forever?!
